During the pandemic I lost my job and went back to making fine art while I sat at home, attempting to give my child an education. My family and I had been living in Denmark and what was supposed to be a short stay in the USA to visit family and get our affairs in order, turned into a two-year stay in the Washington city of Spokane. Not knowing anyone and still having to be cautious whenever we went out in public, I got into a meditative habit of taking long walks around town and drawing various locations I thought were cool.
One day I had to take a flight to San Diego and the gentleman in the seat in front noticed me drawing and asked me, "where did you get your coloring book? Adamant that my simple drawing could be made into a book, he spent the entire flight trying to convince me to make a Spokane coloring book. More info: spokanecoloringbook.

A few suggested I try and get a grant from Spokane Arts to pay for it, so I did and received a grant in March of I also surprisingly received sponsorships from local businesses to make the book as well as support from about 70 members of the community.
It all just kept rolling forward and things kept pushing me until, sometime in September, I put the last ink line on the last coloring book page, and now, here I am, 14 months after that flight, and my book is finished and printed and ready for sale.
